AI is making its way into use cases everywhere. We've seen it generate its own content but can we use it to diagnose and repair technology for us? Kyle Forster and Shea Stewart will be joining Buu to discuss ways they're seeing AI being applied to troubleshooting complex systems. Join them live, Tuesday May 9th at 8:30AM Pacific.

In November of 2021, F5 began to release quarterly security notifications instead of ad hoc CVEs in an effort to simplify our customer's mitigation steps and to minimize response times and outages in the environments that they protect. At Dev Central, we're teaming up with F5 Security Incident Response Team or SIRT. We’ll be delivering coverage throughout the day to bring the absolute most up to date information to the community.

Customers should check the security advisories to get more information on these issues and to get details on recommended mitigations. We recommend that customers ensure they are running the most current and applicable version to optimize the security and performance of their systems. Quarterly security notifications align the public communication of vulnerabilities and security exposures across F5 deployable offerings into one date each quarter.

Vulnerability, disclosure and remediation is a key part of F5 security practices and a reflection of our efforts to stay vigilant and focused on constant improvement.

The date of the next Quarterly Security Notification is August 2, 2023.
